A World of Tainted Beauty

I so often see what I don't want to see

A world of tainted beauty

This is not the world for me

I want to hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil

But that is not the world I was born into 

May I ask was it for you?

Adults being children, children being adults

Wicked insults, white lies being told, 

Sex being sold, the young feeling old

Is any of this breaking the mold?

This is what I see

Yes really!

Do you feel me?

It doesn't have to be

We can all break free

Escape to our destiny!

Loved this poem. This was my favorite line in the poem "Adults being children, children being adults
Wicked insults, white lies being told,
Sex being sold, the young feeling old
Is any of this breaking the mold?" Absolutely loved this, you hit it head on. Great job

Brilliant expressions and the message is clear " a world of tainted beauty" Well done.

Very true, I like your insight of the crazy world in which we live.

it is sadly so true that kids grow up too fast and that no-one wants to admit to old age..As undeniable as it is...
